Based on the most helpful WSO content, moving to Singapore could be a great opportunity, especially if you're interested in international rotations and experiencing different cultures. Singapore is a growing part of the world and a hub for many international businesses, including tech companies.
However, there are a few things to consider. If you're a US citizen, you'll still have to file taxes every year, and the tax benefits might diminish as your career progresses. Also, if you have hobbies that are location-dependent, like skiing, Singapore might not be the best place for you.
On the professional side, demonstrating interest and knowledge in the market you're aiming for in Asia is crucial. The logistics might be challenging, but many funds perceive being trained in the US as an advantage. The technical work experience you've gained in the US could also give you an edge.
In conclusion, it's a decision that requires careful consideration of both personal and professional factors. But if you're up for the challenge, it could be a rewarding move.
